Dan Is Selling His Audi!

words: Bill Cho, video: Alfa Romeo USA YouTube Remember the continuation of the 'Billboard Wars' between Audi and BMW? Well several months and in the original billboard war case, years later, Alfa Romeo has decided to jump into the fray. Here stands Dan. He's a successful businessman. He loves his Audi. It helps him close deals but... Shots fired. It'll be interesting to see if Audi returns the salvo...or maybe Audi will have better things to do like actually selling cars. En...

Carfection – Audi RS 6 Performance vs Mercedes-AMG E63 S

[words: Bill Cho, video and stills: Carfection] It's been awhile since we posted a video so when this one popped up, resistance was futile.

Carfection recently got their hands on an Audi RS 6 Performance and a Mercedes-AMG E63 S. They didn't do a 'normal' comparison that involved drag races no...

This One Time… at Rally Galicia…

Given it's Monday, and that's the appropriate time for everyone to share what they did over the weekend, we found ourselves highly entertained by a video we found posted over on Facebook. Our stage is Rally Galicia, and our star is a box-flared Audi 80 sedan blasting down a gravel road. Air ensues. Think he lands it? Watch below. https://www.facebook.com/Golovachuk.Vitalii/videos/1801798886546395/UzpfSTExNTg4Mjk2NjI6MTE4MDc0MDM5ODczNDgwNQ/

Teaser: The New Audi A6

words: Bill Cho, video: Audi Germany Audi Germany's YouTube channel released a teaser video for the new A6 which is expected to be debuted in March at the Geneva Motor Show.

Total amount of screen time for the A6 is probably 3 seconds long. The A6 Avant, sedan, and the S6 Avant have been photographed during testing here and here if yo...

Aural Nirvana: 700 HP 2013 TT RS plus

words: Bill Cho, video: Cars with Luke You'll notice something different about this 2013 TT RS plus in the latest video by YouTuber Cars with Luke.  Clad in a body kit reminiscent of the TT RS VLN Racecar complete with canards, louvres, and induction hood, it certainly looks the part but does it have the same power to back up the looks? The original TT RS VLN Racecar had 380hp, 390 lb/ft of torque and was FWD. This full quattro TT RS has 800 hp on a good day but on the day of fi...

words: Bill Cho, video: Audi UK They say silence is golden and at first, this video may seem silent since there is no dialogue. But listen carefully and you'll find it golden. From the engine fan to the sizzling brakes, this RS 4 Avant has been driven hard but won't go to bed quietly. Audi UK brings us this cool ad of the vehicle that we in the States want (real bad) but probably won't get. So we just have to be satisfied with these videos and if they are as good as this one, I'm ok wi...
